After reading in economic systems and how have they been applied, I started realising how impossible it is to have a good true socialist country.

    You’re gonna have to put more effort than that. The world has more examples of socialism working than failing, so you’re gonna need to back your claims up with some examples of why it would be impossible.

        For the US the pretty well known policy bangers are The New Deal and The Interstate Highway System both which are not just socialism but Federal level socialism.

        All state run armed forces are by definition socialist in nature. Mercenary armed forces have been used many times to great effect but the backbone of most armed conflicts are the most socialist structure you could create.

        Every large modern religion (abrahamic, hindu, buddhist) is socialist in nature and got to the level they are now due to socialist policy.

          And fire departments, libraries, public schools, police departments, etc etc etc. Every government service funded by taxes are all socialist. And I’m sure OP doesn’t want to eliminate the police, do you OP?

        Libraries, interstate highways, fire departments, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, are all things that are socialist programs here in the US, and they all work. Now, if they did higher education and healthcare, we might get somewhere.
